Not sure if these items are new to this release or if I just never noticed them before:

3) When you press the Up arrow, the current Video Format is displayed in the lower right portion of the screen for a few seconds - this works for both live and recorded shows

If you have the other output formats enabled (i.e., 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i) when you press the Up Error again (when the info screen is not displayed) the TiVo appears to toggle through the available output formats.

Also, was there a test video output formats option available in previous versions?

Not new. The video format switch with the up arrow is something that goes back to the HR10-250, although it went away for a while, and came back with the Premiere (? I think). The other stuff is even on Series 2's.

I can no longer hold down the FF button and have the TiVo step through the 3 FF speeds. I have to press the button each time to increase the FF speed. Just a few days ago, with my universal remote, I was regularly increasing the FF speed by holding down the button. This no longer has any effect. Tested with 4 different remotes. All require repeated button presses to change FF speed.

I've noticed in the show info screen (what you see when you select a show from the now playing list), the Channel Down button doesn't skip to the end of the list of options, like it does on just about every other screen. I'm pretty sure in 14.8 it worked.

Excellent list. One annoying part of the upgrade is the "Please wait...." delay when down & up-arrow'ing through a list of shows, either within a folder or an upcoming shows list. (Before, the shows would just display with little or no delay.) Not a dealbreaker, but a bit annoying.

Are you talking about the SDUI or HDUI because the HDUI is significantly faster for me now?

1. For many years, I have been stopping the FF function by pressing the instant replay button which stopped FF and almost always brought me back to where I wanted to start watching. I think I started doing this since the Play button didn't do it correctly (many years ago). Now the instant replay does not take you to the proper place. I asked Tivo and they said that this was changed and they will not change it back. Luckily the Play button seems to do what I want - as soon as I retrain my fingers to use it.

2. I have a lot of videos on my server on the network with my Tivo. Prior to this latest version, when I selected one of the transferred videos, it didn't show the show duration. I had to press Info, then close Info and the time would be displayed. Now the duration is shown when the show is selected.

You will have to describe this in more detail. I think you are talking about the HDUI?

To all who inquired: In the SDUI, after HAVING SELECTED a show from a list of either a My Shows folder or a list of upcoming episodes--thereby showing its full-page details--thereafter pressing the up- or down-arrow would scan through the FULL-SCREEN DETAILS of each show in the list.

Now, at least for me, there is a second or two "Please wait...." delay between show's full-screen details entries. (This is NOT the same as navigating along the one-line entries of each show.) Again, not a dealbreaker, but a bit annoying when one wants to quickly flip through each episode's details on the list.

(Ironically, quickly scanning up and down the list of show details before 14.9--without the delay--would occasionally result in the queue repeating itself every few entries. It gave me a sense of deja vu, or the illusion that the same episode was being repeated. Maybe the delay protects against this?)

I am still unable to replicate what you describe. I think you are also missing a step. In SDUI, when you select an already recorded video (from anywhere) and see the summary details, you must press "info"button to see a full-screen of all details. In that screen, I can page up or down (chan up/down) instantly. No time in that or leading up to it or in it, do I see any "Please wait..." dialogs.

If I translate what you mean to viewing the summary details of a program, then pressing up/down arrows to scroll to the previous or next video's summary details, that is instant also, with no "Please wait..." dialogs.

Yes, I meant summary details, not the info screen. If no one else has this problem, I'm not sure why I do, more so since I have it across three TiVo's all of which are now 14.9.2.2.

I was just watching live TV, and TiVo said it had a scheduled recording coming up and wanted to change the channel on me. This is just the one recording, not two at overlapping times. Is this new since 14.9.2.2? I don't remember it asking me this before unless it was starting the 2nd simultaneous recording. Even if it isn't new, why on earth would it make up its mind ahead of time which tuner it desperately wanted to use? Why not just pick the unused one and leave me alone?

Because it might have decided to record a suggestion on the other tuner. And please keep in mind that when you are watching "live" TV (which you seem to indicate), the TiVo doesn't know there is anyone there. The message is the TiVo's way of determining if anyone really is watching live TV and warning them it has plans.

"The tuner you are not watching will change the channel at 6:00 to record 'Action News'" (or whatever the wording is)

The text for the time and show title are now yellow instead of white.

At least Tivo has their priorities straight. I know everyone was complaining about that one!

Yup. I guess someone at TiVo had enough free cycles to work on this gem. Of course in doing so they also removed text regarding the recording being a suggestion vs. a scheduled recording. It's more cryptic now, with the change in verb (wants vs. needs) being the only telltale as to rather the channel change is merely for a suggestion or not.
